Brittney McDonald, Veterinary Assistant
Britt was born in Alabama and spent most of her childhood relocating around the United States, until finally settling in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
Britt joined the CCAH family in July of 2018. Over the last 18 years she has worked in the veterinary field in both private practice and laboratory animal medicine. She is a certified Laboratory Animal Technician and used her skills to provide anesthesia and pain management for laboratory patients, ensuring the best possible care available. Although the laboratory technician experience was rewarding, she finds the private practice setting more rewarding, focusing on the fast-paced environment, the variety of tasks performed with each patient visit, and making a positive difference in the lives of not only animals but their owners. Her special veterinary interests are surgery & anesthesia, client education and staff training.
Although work keeps Britt quite busy, she has a variety of interests that help her with her work-life balance including watching her nephew play sports, fishing, home projects, and target shooting. She has a four-legged child named Bella (a Cocker Spaniel/Yorkie mix).
